TW>JE>Took th PU to a garage for a tune up - now at 100,000 miles. Had 60,000

TW>JE>no tune up done since I bought it.
TW>JE>Seems to work just almost as good as XP PRO. :-)


TW>Wel lyou are having FAR better luck them I am. Against my Best Judgement
TW>I bought a Piece of "GM JUNK". A little 1998 S-10 pickup to replace a
TW>Mini Dodge/Misitusbhi that gave me many years of very dependable
TW>service. It had 54,000 onm it at 55,000 I had to have the Lock Up
TW>Converter replaced and seveal other parts i nthe Auto Transmission. In
TW>chatting with the tranny shop I found that that particualrly GM
TW>transmission was designed to start fallng apart jsut After the Warranty
TW>Expired. Adn just yesterday as the Heat of the Summer approaches I found
TW>out I have ot dump $700 into the Air Conditioning System.  :-(  :-(
TW>Meanwhile my Little Subaru is stil lplugging along at 190,000 with the
TW>Origional Auto Transmission and the Origional Air Conditioning unit.
TW>IS thare a LESSON in ALL of THIS???
TW>Ohter than TOM has become dangeriously STUPID in his old age?

In the first place you cannot compare an S-10 with a 3/4 ton HD PU.
Which has towed a 34" travel trailer all over the country. Only broke
down one time on the road with it - fuel pump went out in Arizona in 120
degrees on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks for my road service I got towed
in about 50 miles (no charge) they parked the trailer in a trailer park,
took the PU to a garage and I got it Monday about noon. Cost of fixing
wasn't too bad - less than $100.00! I have towed travel trailers all
over the US, Canada and Alaska for over 57 years and never needed any
help till that time. I must have been living right!

 My 92 Ford Crown Vic had the automatic
transmission go ut at 55000, again at 60,000 and now at about 70000 it is
acting up again.
